Ricki Lake, 55, Lost 30 Pounds In 4 Months 'Without Relying On A Pharmaceutical'
Ricki Lake, 55, revealed that she lost 30 pounds in four months in a new Instagram.
The former talk show host explained that she and her husband Ross made a commitment to lose weight naturally together.
She also said, "This is the healthiest way I’ve lost weight in all of my years."
Ricki Lake opened up about her recent 30-pound weight loss that has left her feeling "amazing" and "strong" in a new Instagram post.
The 55-year-old former talk show host said that her weight loss journey began on October 26th, 2023 when she “made a commitment to myself to get healthier,” noting that her husband Ross decided to do the same. “Together we have each lost 30+ lbs,” Ricki wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. “I really want to share, because we did this without relying on a pharmaceutical. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)”
Ricki pointed out that she and Ross aren’t pre-diabetic—many weight loss medications can also be used for diabetes management—and “both of us felt like we wanted to at least try and do it on our own.”
That said, the Daytime Emmy winner “was a bit worried” about trying to lose weight naturally due to “being 55 and in perimenopause,” so she wasn't sure if her “body would not drop the lbs like it had in the past.”
But all of Ricki and Ross's hard work—which Ricki said she plans to detail in another post—paid off and she’s “so, so proud” of what the couple has accomplished together. “I feel amazing. I feel strong 💪,” Ricki said. “Suffice to say this is the healthiest way I’ve lost weight in all of my years.”
Ricki shared a few photos from her weight loss journey, including a shot of herself an Ross on their “daily hike,” as well as a screengrab from a weight tracker that shows a very clear downward trend.
“I only started weighing myself on 11/15/23,” she explained in the caption. “Guessing I was about 170 when I started. I’m 5’3”.”
The comments on Ricki’s post were filled with supportive messages from a slew of famous friends. “Hell yeah Ricki!!!!! Soooo impressed,” said Andy Cohen. Model Paulina Porizkova also chimed in with this sweet comment: “What a great way to celebrate your fab fifties! Bravo to both of you!”
And Kristen Chenoweth wrote, “Good for yall!! This is amazing!!!,” while LeAnn Rimes said, “Yay you!!!! ❤”
Keep up the good work, Ricki and Ross!
